Redness, Flushing and Rosacea Treatments
Understanding and Treating Redness, Flushing, and Rosacea at Beauty Bliss Skin Boutique
If you struggle with facial redness, flushing, or rosacea, you know how much it can impact not just your skin — but your confidence. Whether it’s that familiar heat rising in your cheeks, random flare-ups, or visible capillaries that seem to worsen over time, redness-prone skin is more than just a surface concern. At Beauty Bliss Skin Boutique, we specialise in helping clients with sensitive, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin using a science-backed, barrier-first approach that reduces inflammation, supports skin function, and builds long-term resilience.
So what causes redness and rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by persistent flushing, visible capillaries (telangiectasia), inflammation, and sensitivity, often affecting the central face — particularly the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. While the exact cause of rosacea is still being studied, clinical research points to a combination of genetic predisposition, immune dysfunction, vascular instability, and skin barrier impairment. People with rosacea tend to have overactive innate immune responses, where the skin reacts too aggressively to everyday triggers like heat, sun, stress, spicy foods, or alcohol. Additionally, they often experience neurogenic inflammation — where nerve endings in the skin become hypersensitive to external stimuli, leading to that familiar burning or stinging sensation during flare-ups.
What else?
Another key component of rosacea is vascular dysregulation — meaning the blood vessels in the skin dilate too easily and too often, causing visible flushing and long-term capillary damage. This makes the skin appear constantly red, especially across the cheeks and nose. To make things worse, people with rosacea or flushing often have a compromised skin barrier, making them more prone to trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), dehydration, and inflammation from even the gentlest products.

Ever since I moved to Melbourne my skin is more red, why?
In Melbourne, the extreme weather shifts — from cold winter winds to dry indoor heating, followed by hot summer sun and humidity — can wreak havoc on redness-prone skin. Add to this daily lifestyle stress, hormonal changes, or the use of harsh skincare, and your skin may feel constantly tight, hot, or uncomfortable. That’s why, at Beauty Bliss, we focus on calming, strengthening, and restoring the skin’s barrier and vascular response — using gentle, clinically effective treatments and Circadia professional skincare designed for compromised, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin.
What are the steps in treatment?
The first step in treating redness or rosacea is a proper skin diagnosis. Many people self-treat rosacea with harsh acne products or over-exfoliation, thinking it’s just breakouts or sensitivity — but this often makes things worse. During our in-depth consultation, we evaluate your triggers, lifestyle, diet, barrier function, and visible signs of vascular stress to customise your skin journey.

What treatments can I have for skin redness and flushing and why?
Our hero treatment for red and reactive skin is the Circadia Oxygen Rx Facial. Scientifically designed for rosacea, acne, and inflamed skin, this treatment delivers a controlled oxygenation process that reduces redness, kills bacteria, and strengthens fragile capillaries. Clinical studies show that oxygen therapy improves skin microcirculation and reduces inflammation without stimulating the vascular system — making it a powerful option for rosacea clients who can’t tolerate heat-based treatments. It also calms the Demodex mite population (microscopic skin mites found in higher numbers in rosacea clients), helping reduce one of the newer suspected rosacea triggers.
Another game-changing treatment we offer is LED Light Therapy, particularly red and near-infrared wavelengths. These wavelengths have been shown to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and strengthen capillary walls. We recommend this as a standalone treatment or as an add-on to enzyme or oxygen facials for clients experiencing chronic redness or flare-ups. Red LED light helps improve skin resilience over time and is ideal for post-flare maintenance. Discover our LED therapy options here.

For clients dealing with persistent flushing or visible capillaries, we may also recommend a Vascular Program, designed to target dilated capillaries and diffuse redness without thermal injury to the skin. The ultra-short pulses of the vascular long pulse laser break down oxyhemoglobin in superficial vessels, which are then absorbed by the body — all while preserving the surrounding tissue.
What about homecare for this skin condition?
We always pair our in-clinic treatments with a carefully selected Circadia home care routine that focuses on calming inflammation, repairing the barrier, and protecting the skin. For cleansing, we recommend the Circadia Lipid Replacing Cleanser, which gently removes impurities without stripping or irritating the skin. For treatment serums, we use the Circadia Aloe & Calendula Calming Mist to instantly reduce redness, and the Vitamin C Reversal Serum to strengthen fragile capillaries and protect against environmental stressors — all while being non-irritating. We also love the Circadia Tranquili-Cream, which contains Bisabolol, Allantoin, and anti-inflammatory botanicals that help calm burning and stinging sensations during flare-ups. For SPF, we use the Circadia Light Day Sunscreen SPF 37, a physical, non-irritating sunscreen with zinc oxide — essential for preventing rosacea triggers from UV exposure.
What are you doing wrong for your red skin?
Many clients with rosacea feel discouraged by flare-ups that seem to return no matter what they try. What we often see is that they’ve been using the wrong products, over-treating with acids or actives, or lacking proper barrier protection. Our clinic takes a long-term view — helping you understand your rosacea triggers (food, weather, alcohol, heat, skincare, etc.) while giving your skin the tools it needs to heal and strengthen gradually. It’s not about finding a miracle product — it’s about calming your skin’s nervous system, strengthening your capillaries, and repairing your barrier.
